“And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.”
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away — the appearance (apokalypsis) of the 'Chief Shepherd' (archipoimēn, supreme shepherd) signals the eschatological reward: an 'unfading crown of glory' (stephanos tēs doxēs amarantinos). The promise establishes that faithful shepherding culminates in eternal honor.
